Dioramas while Traveling

If you follow my youtube channel or website you know that I spent the summer of 2018 traveling all of america. That was a wonderful adventure for me. You can check that out here. But... this page is about the fact that while traveling I encountered a lot of dioramas! Yay! I have them listed right here on this page for you.

Glass Dioramas at the Corning Museum of Glass

I went to the Corning museum of glass in New York mostly for the telescope stuff. Corning has a long history of making telescope glass both for refractors and large reflectors. And I was very surprised (and pleased) to see that there is a long history of diorama making in the glass world! Woot! Here are some pictures of the beautiful glass dioramas at the Corning Museum of Glass.

While I stopped at a rest stop and tourist information center on the highway outside of Portland Maine and spotted this diorama of a lobsterman harvesting lobster. Kind of cool. Check it out here: The Maine Lobsterman Diorama - The use of a sheet of lexan to delineate the surface of the water is a neat idea for this diorama. This way you can see both above the water and below it.

The Grand Canyon Diorama

I spent time at the Grand Canyon. And while there I found a beautiful diorama in one of the observation posts. Amazing, and accurate work here. Check out more pictures.

Montezuma's Castle Shadowbox Diorama

I took a trip to Arizona. While there I stopped at a place called Montezuma's Castle. It is a historic landmark. And at the site they had a wonderful shadowbox of the castle. See more here
